 When her dad doesn’t come home from work one night, Claudia is worried. Is he sick? Has he been kidnapped? Then she discovers a clue, a puzzle piece planted by her father. So he isn’t missing after all. He has left them! Claudia wrestles with her feelings of abandonment by her father, as well as being angry at her mother for not seeming that interested in finding him. As she uncovers each clue, she enlists the help of friends and family and embarks on a journey into her past relationship with her father, in order to bring him home.(Prepared by:Rebecca Roper, MLIS, Carver Middle School, rbroper@spart7.org)   (South Carolina Book Awards, 2020-2021)
